RedHill Biopharma (Nasdaq: RDHL) has announced plans to implement a ratio change for its American Depositary Shares (ADSs) on August 20, 2024. The new ratio will be 1 ADS representing 10,000 ordinary shares, compared to the current 1:400 ratio. This change will effectively result in a 1-for-25 reverse ADS split.
The company's ADSs will continue trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol 'RDHL' with a new CUSIP Number. No new ADSs will be issued, and existing ADS holders will have their holdings automatically exchanged. Fractional new ADSs will be sold, with proceeds distributed to applicable holders.
This move aims to address RedHill's non-compliance with Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirements, as notified on March 14, 2024. While the company anticipates the ADS price will increase proportionally to meet Nasdaq's requirements, there is no guarantee of this outcome.
RedHill Biopharma (Nasdaq: RDHL) has announced positive Phase 3 data for RHB-104, a triple antimicrobial therapy targeting Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) in Crohn's disease.

The primary endpoint of clinical remission at week 26 was achieved in 36.7% of RHB-104 patients compared to 22.4% of placebo patients (p=0.0048). The safety profile was similar to placebo. This data supports the hypothesis of a Mycobacterial basis for Crohn's disease and opens a potential new avenue for treatment. The Crohn's disease market was valued at over $13 billion in 2023.
